Paritsky on August 28. 1981 and arrested him for "defaming the Soviet State." In a November 1981 trial he was sentenced to 3 years in a labor camp. I have recently received word that Mr. Paritsky has been refused permission to emigrate at least until 1990. In addition. he is being forced to live under extremely trying conditions. In response to these latest developments. I recently sent a telegram to Soviet Ambassador to the United States. Anatoly Dobrynin. expressing my strong opposition to the Soviet Governments decision regarding Mr. Paritskys emigration status and the treatment he is receiving by the authorities. The case of Mr. Paritsky serves to further point to the necessity for significant and immediate improvements in the human rights situation in the Soviet Union. particularly the treatment of Soviet Jews wishing to emigrate.*
